[@5199John]

Like the review of the Aqua View - cool application. Congrats on the baby, you may need to use the ArcLab bag as a diaper bag, though!

[@MontanaWalleyeAngler]

We’re getting real close to fishable ice here in MT! Hoping by the end of the week it’s go time! Thanks for the video TJ!

[@tjsguideservice]

You bet!! We should be getting real close as well soon. Best of luck this ice season! 👊

[@TheSnusNHowzer]

Congrats and wishing you and your family luck!

[@tjsguideservice]

Thank you very much! We can’t wait!

[@wyatthans7536]

Been using my evolution rod for last 3 seasons. Love that rod. Thanks for the vid!

[@tjsguideservice]

It’s been awesome! Wasn’t sure right away but the extra length is so nice!

[@evanmalison4489]

That Aqua-Vu is pretty slick! Can’t wait to get on the ice!❤️🎣

[@tjsguideservice]

Heck yeah, Evan! I’m hoping to get even more underwater footage this year!! Good luck man!

[@devondrewes]

They are phenomenal!

[@craigwavra3495]

Yah, I’m a sucker for the tackle!! Already picked up some of the new tungsten versions from Northland. I’ll buy more just have to pace myself!!

[@tjsguideservice]

You and me both!! I’m a sucker for a lot of ice gear 😂

[@craigwavra3495]

The St Paul ice show will be my next visit so have save up for that!!

[@mikerunamuck]

It’s over for you , no Time to fish , you’ll be changing DIAPERS !!!! 😂😂

[@tjsguideservice]

Haha definitely will be for a while! But will have to sneak in some fishing here and there 😂

[@97italyboy]

Where did u find the arc bag? Sold out everywgere

[@tjsguideservice]

I was able to get it with the first batch that was made

[@philipnguyen2529]

Hello there, just watching your video on KZbin, I like how you mount your aqua camera. Can you tell me where can I purchase the mount handle just like your?

[@tjsguideservice]

I just added the link to my description under “camera mount” It’s also here amzn.to/413lEtu

[@ROGERSTAAB]

do you have any recomendations for diesel heaters

[@tjsguideservice]

That is something I haven’t ventured into yet! Can’t decide if the benefits outweigh the costs

[@adamsoutdoors4334]

Amazing video

[@tjsguideservice]

Appreciate the comment! 👊

[@adamsoutdoors4334]

@@tjsguideservice if you ice fishing pike and lakers what size reel would you use?

[@tjsguideservice]

@ then I use a 2000 size. Possible a 3000 if I go super Beefy with everything but 90% if the time 2000

[@troyhoernemann3775]

Nice gear

[@tjsguideservice]

Thanks, Troy! Good luck this year! 👊

[@commonsenseapproach101]

I will never use a rod over 27" again. Try fighting a 30" eye outside in 15 degrees or less once. Long rods are horrible to scoop out the big eye.

[@tjsguideservice]

That is my one complaint with longer rods, however the extra length helps them stay pinned to even get to the hole!

[@commonsenseapproach101]

@@tjsguideservice I use to think the same thing and I've used longer rods in the past and with the improved tech with short rods and quick solid backing on short rod that have 5% give (only a few companies have these), that changed it for me. Way easier to land big fish with the 23" UL or L on 4-6# test and a good drag, one thing for sure I went away from Inline reals for targeting big eyes or fish. Until they get a true drag they don't work in cold either. Even the 100 ones. But each their own. Good luck.

[@teamextremefishing]

Great informational video TJ! Question for you, couldn't I just buy the aqua view multi revolution, which has a BNC connection, and and hook it to my 8612? Only costs $179, and then HDMI out to the shack TV? Just trying to save a few bucks😅

[@tjsguideservice]

Thanks man! I have never used the BNC connection, so I can’t say for sure, but in theory? You’ll have to try it and let me know! 😂

[@teamextremefishing]

@@tjsguideservice that's what I'm leaning towards! Thanks!

[@tjsguideservice]

@ I’ll do some looking and let you know!

[@tjsguideservice]

@@teamextremefishing so, that option would work, however it won’t be the quality of the newer camera. The new ones are 1080p and the multi revolution is standard definition

[@teamextremefishing]

@tjsguideservice hey thanks! That makes sense then on the price difference! Plan on some Minnesota trips this year, I'll let you know if I'm in the area😁

[@Getssum22]

TJ what Garmin is that? 8610?

[@tjsguideservice]

Yes the gpsmap 8610!

[@brettM1]

Which charplotter is that?

[@tjsguideservice]

This is the gpsmap 8610

[@brettM1]

@ thanks brother. Deciding if I want to upgrade my screen. Really want Helm.

[@tjsguideservice]

@@brettM1 it has been very nice for a couple reason. Increased resolution. Screen recording. HDMI capabilities

[@brettM1]

@@tjsguideservice good stuff. Thanks for answering.

[@NickLindner]

You’re costing me a lot of money today Mr. Erickson. 😅

[@tjsguideservice]

That’s what you get for getting on the ice before me!

[@Icepiratefishing]

You missed a bunch of actually new stuff😢

[@tjsguideservice]

Feel free to add suggestions! Always open to new gear!
